Earache

I don't eat a lot of meat, but do have a love for bbq ribs when they're available. My riding buddy Dave and I had some smallish racks of ribs in Tennessee last year...

How about this one? I don't even remember what it was supposed to be, but I do remember that I got it at the Golden Burro restaurant in Leadville, Colorado. I think it was chips with green chile on top, some beans and cheese of some kind. Feckin' Americans will dump cheese on top of anything.

The USA has some pretty odd food that you'll encounter when on trips through the country and I loike to at least try them. Some are really good, others not so much. Show me what you've found and where you found it.Here are a couple from me. First is from Gold Star Chili in Kentucky. This type of chili comes from Cincinnati, Ohio where a Greek immigrant started serving it this way. Aside from a small amount of cheese, there is chili, onions, beans and spaghetti noodles in there. Then, as a side, are two cheese coneys; hot dogs in a bun slathered with chili and a bit of cheese. Sounds gross, I know, but it is delicious after you scrape about 1/2 of the cheese off. Second, a breakfast burrito from Tia Sophia's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A folded tortilla wth sausge and eggs, peppers inside. Covered with both red and green chile (Christmas style) and a bit of melted cheese on top. Fuckin' heaven, I tell ya. I hit Tia's on every trip through Santa Fe. Finally, my usual lunch. A cold diet soft drink and some cracker type things called "Combos". They're little brick-like round crackers with some odd sort of flavor thing in the middle. Some shade and a map and I'm set. Usually eat this while sitting on a curb at a fuel station someplace.

That's how it all starts....

Just sitting on my fat ass at home, looking at a map and trying to figure out where to ride tomorrow. I'm almost outta ideas. Getting bored of the same old passes, etc. Anything / any place that anyone wants to see some pics of? Might give me a destination to go to.

Welcome Marjore !

I hate 1/2 of the crap I make - but if that;s what the customer wants then that's what I make. I'd really like to just make reclaimed wood dining tables - the most fun to make and makes the most money.

It was either a bathroom wall or some porn site - can't remember which. Seriously though; I don't remember. Don't think I'm on your Facebook, but mine is here : https://www.facebook.com/eric.welding/

Days are nice now. This morning was a bit chilly at 3C or so when I left. Should hit about 16C today but would be warmer if the Sun was out. Cloudy, shitty day today.

Another cool thing about living at elevation, is driving through the clouds on your way down the hill. Had to work to day (gasp!) and the clouds looked cool on the way to Denver...

Since we have no castles here, I really like the castle ride reports. Have been to a few in Scotland but still like to see the pics.

No shortage of that going around right now, I'm afraid.

We have so much abandioned stuff around here it's not funny. If I get out this weekend, I;ll shoot some more pics.

I think they are but Joe Perry left the band for awhile years ago, so hard to say they've been together all this time.

Printed?!?!? It was probably chiseled.

Three on the clutch and one on the brake - weird, but it's a hold over habit from my motocross days. Always ride with one finger on the brake lever as well.

Looks like the wheelie wasn't the problem. The landing of said wheelie might have caused an issue thoguh....

I shall work on it as soon as the snow melts? Gimme a yell when ytou're out this way and maybe we can ride a bit or meet up for a beer.

We'll be expecting some ride report pics?

Expecting 8-12 inches tonight, ( and no, I don't need to hear "That's what she said" jokes ? ). Hopefully the forecast is off by a bit and it misses us....

What a coincidence - I have found that I really suck at editing.?

Nicely done. Wish I could edit video like that.

Welcome JBean!
